8 Regulatory Updates in India According to the chief economic advisor, Universal Basic Income may feature in the next economic survey. Universal Basic Income is a single unconditional income that lowers government efforts to ensure delivery of individual social security schemes. The official added that Universal Basic Income promises every citizen unconditional cash transfer in place of the many benefits like in case of health and subsidies. The Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme or M-SIPS is set for a major overhaul after the Ministry of Finance raised concerns regarding lack of clarity in the quantum of subsidy outgo under the given framework till The M-SIPS policy aims to give incentives to companies for manufacturing locally by providing them a 20% to 25% subsidy on their capital expenditure. The government has tightened rules for appointing merchant bankers and brokers for the sale of its stake in blue chip companies held through the Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India (SUUTI). According to the new rules, the selected merchant bankers will have to submit a list of institutional and other major investors at the domestic and international level that they will approach for proposed stake sale in SUUTI. However, merchant bankers can enter into a competing transaction with a private company provided they notify SUUTI as and when they enter into any conflict of interest situation. Slide 8

9 Regulatory Updates in India (contd..) The Department of Public Enterprises has come out with timelines for sale of land, disposal of movable assets, and retrenchment of employees who have not opted for voluntary retirement. The move comes amid concerns about excessive delays and additional time taken for closing down sick or loss-making central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) where decisions for closure were taken a long time ago. According to the timelines, the retrenchment of employees of such CPSEs who have not opted for VRS has to be completed within four months from the Zero Date. Wages, salaries, and other statutory dues have to be settled within three months from the Zero Date. Zero Date is the date of issue of minutes of approval for closure of sick or loss-making CPSEs by the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs. The government is considering easing rules in the goods and services tax (GST) framework for banks, NBFCs, and insurance companies. In the present GST framework, banking and financial companies need to register all their branches in a state separately and treat them as separate entities. There are concerns that under such a framework, calculating GST in each transaction in every branch would be very cumbersome and the compliance cost for banks and other financial companies will increase. The government is planning to ease these concerns by introducing single registration and centralised audit for banks and NBFCs. Slide 9
